Testing compressor?

[krminyl@...]

Ryan,

I could never get to my governor...I finally took it to a local shop, and they couldn't get to it either. They just cut the lines, and re-installed a new governor in the engine compartment bulkhead curb side, just on the other side of the battery charger compartment. The issue I was having was that my BB would only air up to 30-50 lbs of pressure, not even enough to release the brakes. I would hear air escaping from underneath the bus, but couldn't tell exactly where from. After trying to air it up a bunch of times, I guess something would unstick, and it would be OK again. The mechanic told me the governor was on the inside of a frame rail, in front of the transmission, and he couldn't get to it (??)...I knew I couldn't !

Since replacing the governor (about $35 bucks), it hasn't happened since (it did cost me several [5 or 6]hundred dollars to have a mechanic replumb the darn thing).

Best of luck...
